As the man above said, coax is standard stuff for composite video - PAL
or NTSC. You PD170s have RCA connectors on the side which are normally
attached to a length of coax via an RCA to BNC adaptor. At the other
end is any vision mixer/switcher. This is standard professional
stuff, used all over.

Your sound takes a different route via the XLR connectors to the sound
desk - though you probably don't want the on-camera sound except as a
guide. Again, we're talking standard stuff here, used by everyone all
over the world. It's good enough for many, many world class companies.


If you really want to get better than that, and I wonder if anyone
would know the difference apart from engineers, you could get yourself
DV to SDI adaptors, and run everything digital, but it really isn't
worth it unless you're mastering a major pop concert - and if you were
, you would need to ask us, as you'd have the budget and people to make
it all happen for you.
